Life is Good
My Cancer is coming back. My MS is progressing a bit. I had the stomach bug last week.
But I am so happy. I am listening to music. I am reading. I have gone to art shows. I have gone to concerts. I walk my dogs and pet my cats.
Life is good I am so happy these days.

Alex, you just flat out rock! You're being present, in the moment, and happy in the face of all circumstances. A real Bodhisattva! Big hugs to you, girl!
Alex,
Sometimes finding joy and peace is 9/10 of the battle. Blessings.

Alex,
It has all been said! You ARE truly an inspiration and I, like the others, have trouble finding a more descriptive word for your perspective and outlook on life. You are my hero.
I will be right behind Ess in line to buy your book!!! You are truly amazing!!! sorry to hear about the cancer returning especially since it was retreating!
Sending good thoughts and best wishes your way!!
Hugs,
Ren

God bless you to continue feeling well and living your life. I got a tattoo in the fall and it says "live life" because that is reminder for me everyday to do so! My cancer continues to behave but there a few blips on the radar with treatment related issues and autoimmune stuff that my doctor thinks my stem cell transplant might have brought to the surface. Go figure. Immune system reset and it goes a bit wonky.
You are an inspiration anyways. I'm sorry it is coming back, but am very proud of you for looking at the bright side. Good for you. !! I'm glad that you can walk the dog still and enjoy your animals.
take good care, and prayers for healing and peace c oming your way.

The thing is I am happy. I am sick but not terribly sick. I took my 85 pound dog for a walk today. He was really well behaved. He did not pull me at all and it is Spring so lots to look at. My life is really good these days. I went to a great Celtic Concert last week. I have over 500 songs on my IPod. I have pain but I have medication. I am hoping to start painting again. I am going to an artist retreat at the Beach this week.
A year ago I thought I was counting my life out now I have so much hope.
It was April of last year I found out the Chemo had not worked.
Now I am in a Clinical Trial and though the Cancer is growing I am still here. I am the only one left in the Trial here in Durham.
Your prayers are working.

Prayers your way!
And requests for your secrets! :)
Thank you for the perspective you have given me today when I reflect on this "bad week." It's nothing in comparison...

Alex,
There are not the correct words coming to me to express the importance of your message that you continue to share when you come here. Cancer, MS or any other challenge you have shared, your message of remaining positive and in control, regardless of how out of control it might feel, resonates with so many here.
Again, I can only thank you for allowing us to be a part of your journey and learning through your examples. I hope that you have many more opportunities to work on that bucket list.
hugs, Laura

Really sorry to hear this news, Alex, but WAY impressed with your perspective and how you can inspire so many others to be strong. Enjoy the Icelandic pony!! I always love your comments about your dogs. You are clearly an animal lover ; )
You are an unbelievable, and to be hugely admired woman HVAC. It's a pity your attitude can't be bottled and handed out to a large proportion of the population.
I'm sure you will have so much fun riding the Icelandic pony and get off feeling that high that only horse riders know about.
Without my beautiful standardbred hacks I don't know where I would be .......

I am writing a book. I am 75% through it. Its called I should have been raised by wolves.
One of my bucket list is to ride an Icelandic Pony. My husband ran into some on the Trail and is arranging a ride. They were impressed he knew what they were.

How do you keep this wonderful attitude Alex? You are amazing! Wish you would write a book for those of us who hasn't been able to reach that level of peace.
Yay for your perspective; phooey at the cancer, MS, & all that junk.
You would not believe the volume of prayers being offered on your behalf, Alex. You keep on fighting the good fight, running your best race, way past obstacles that would have killed most of us. Besides praying for your health, I am among those offering prayers of thanksgiving for the grace with which you've handled this onslaught. I'm still trying to find words beyond "inspiration" to describe the impact you've had on many people here, and I have to believe everywhere you are known.

Alex, I am so sorry that your cancer is coming back but the fact that you can still enjoy all life has to offer is a form of peace that so few ever find. Finding it in the chaos you have in your body is nothing short of a miracle.
Your happiness is well deserved,
Corrie

Wow!! How inspirational!!! What an amazing spirit you have! And that is what gets you through... A positive attitude is the best thing you can have
Karry is so right! You are a rock & take everything that is thrown at you & come out the other side stronger for it. You are my inspiration also. Xoxo
That's really bad news Alex.
I do hope that if I was in your situation I could manage as well as you do. You really are an inspiration to me & many others who hear the battles you fight every day. It sounds like you are at peace in your own skin & this is one of the biggest achievements in life. I strive for this everyday but I won't give up because I have been shown it's within my reach.
God bless you Alex.
Hugs,
Karry XOXO
